R34

Pits guys are gunna love you Looks like you'll have to do a lot of work prior to presenting it or just try as it is and get a list to work to. Good Luck

Sorry but I think you'd regret it. Would you prefer a R34 GT with a SR20DET in it over a GTR? Similar concept IMHO Good luck with what you decide (hope you don't put the ironing board on the boot)

Liked the car hated the bugeye look. Bought aftermarket headlights for mine. Don't think I'll wait for the new model although a 2.5 would fix my only complaint. Looks like it's definitely the CPV35 for me

If they are a genuine part he can get them but the cost may be high.

The ones for $500 will be the Halogen ones which all R34's complied for Australia "should" have.

Ask for steve Barnes at Northside Nissan spare parts. He can get what you need as I think they stock the headlights in Melb.(halogen ones not sure about if you have Xeon type) He owns a R33 so is happy to help

Yep sorry The REX was the wifes choice (been my choice all other times)and I think it's been a great little car. I do miss 6 cylinders though. Once I replaced the Bugeye headlights it didn't look too bad. My Missus didn't like the 34 and wouldn't drive it because she couldn't see out the back > I actually think the 33 is a sweeter looking car but what would I know I'm waiting for a CPV35

If your car is tuned correctly and you drive the cars in a similar way fuel economy would not differ greatly. If you are having a problem with excessive fuel consumption and the car is tuned right as I said the biggest factor is you. Cheers

Unfortunately the buyers and the market set the price. Plastic bits could cost $50,000 but won't affect it's resale value If the license papers say it's a Skyline GTS-t then that's what it is and will always be.

Mitchy If you want to change to an R34 based on fuel economy..don't. Fuel economy of 33 and 34 would be almost identical. Fuel economy is more related to the ol' right hoof whether it be modified or not. My REX is putting out maybe 40kW more than stock and gets 10l/100kms normally. Who said 34's are nicer looking I've had both and a nice 33 will grab my attention in traffic moreso than a 34 but that's just my preference. If your chosing an auto then the 34's are much nicer with the tiptronic function compared with a 33. At 18 I'd hate to be paying your insurance costs

Yes you hit the nail on the head there Chris. Some people are just slow to accept change and maintain their narrow viewpoints long after others have moved on. I was one of the first to get an R33 then a R34 in spite of owners of the previous models telling me how ugly they are. Look how they accept them now. Mind you even now if I see a nicely done up HR31 I wish I had the spare garage space :love: Yes this thread has served it's purpose Cheers Chris

OK Length Width Height Grill Grill placement Headlights Taillights Bonnet Bumpers Doors door handle placement Bootlid V's Hatch Other than mechanically tell me which parts interchange that you can see Sure they followed a theme but one that works And for those who knock Carlos Sure we don't like some of the things he's done but without him Nissan would have gone down the toilet by now their financial situation was so dire. It's fine to build cars that push the forefront of technology such as the 32 GTR but that doesn't keep you in busness. Better Nissan to survive and our cars maintain their resale value than go the way of Rover/MG. Imagine those poor buggers trying to get out of their leases when they finish. cheers

Yeah what am I thinking they are ugly and have no soul

Be nice or I'll have to photoshop a 33 against a Magna

Yeah good point. They were obviously banking on the Skyline name to sell more cars. At least they didn't go and put Skyline badges on the Maxima

The Artist did a good job then...looks great to me Shimmy There is no basically about it......The G35 Infinity IS a V35 but with LHD. Thought the early concept in those last two pics looked terrible Cheers

"Originally Posted by zer0for0je R34 is the mark of the end of a great car era..." Ha! that's what some R32 owners say too about the R32. Can't live in the past all your lives guys. Tastes change thing move on. Go the V35

Or this one http://g35driver.com/home/ Chris

I just checked out your photos after I read your post about 260RS and sent PM Is that colour a factory colour? Thought that a V35 in a colour like the ford XR purple would look good. Like the newstyle blue coupe in your photos too Cheers

I dunno Teejay I think yellow (like the R34GTT not 350Z) could look pretty good. Found this on the net

Not sure yet but would need to be mid $40k to be competitive with other cars on used market Cheers

Will cause no damage to speedo as there is no direct connection between a cable drive and the needle. The cable usually spins a magnetic drum that attracts and drags a metal "plate" attached to the needle. If the disc spins quick enough to push the needle to an endstop there is only magnetic force on it so no damage.

Food for thought White is the combination of all colours of the spectrum whereas black is actually the absence of colour reflected off a surface. So then is "Black" an actual colour at all?? Oooh my brain hurts now :idea:

Like yer style mate Man of few words Picture does equal 1000 words Cool car -only R series Skyline I never owned unfortunately

Like the thinking Troy Yellow would be cool but to colourchange an '04 or '05 could be cruel Blue silver white or a new colour gunmetal below could be the go
